In Oct. 1989, Michael Jackson came to Gardner St. Elementary School in Hollywood for a dedication of the school auditorium in his name. Michael attended the school in his youth. This is the uncut version of the tape that went home afterwards with the students. It includes Michael's comments to the gathered crowd and his interaction with the kids in the classroom. The tape was given to me by a friend who was a student at the time. Larry Nimmer

    Michael helped his teacher Mrs. Fine and her family throughout their life.  They had a lot of struggles and Michael was always there for her.  Such a sweet woman.  You can tell she is overwhelmed.

    His former teacher, Mrs, Gurson, said it all; along with all of his magnificent talents, what's most admirable about Michael is his kindness, his generosity of spirit, and his willingness to help those who are less fortunate.

    It's so sweet to see him visit his old school and see the children. Usually celebrities now would care less about visiting their old schools or go to events like this unless if money is involved. Michael was such a sweet and caring person and was truly one of a kind

    The kids singing keep staring at Michael out of the corner of their eyes, they're thinking, "OMG Michael's standing next to me! I can't say I blame them, I'd probably faint. Even the parent over the PTA was so nervous.. Mike had a way of doing that to people. He left us all speechless.
  • What is so funny to me is when the kids were just staring at Michael... "They were like, OMG that's Michael standing there" lol... MJ is the man!!! :-)

    Michael Jackson: The genius artist. The beautiful human. The wonderful person. The greatest. Ever like him, non one like him. You live always in our hearts, we miss all of you...

    I read that Michael helped Rose Fine and her family with financial difficulties throughout her life (she's the teacher who was their tutor who Michael hugged near the end).  Such a heart full of love.
